IMHO, we might as well just use the existing lists for both of these. If the perceived problem is the high-brow stuff scaring newbies off, it's better to add a new list for that topic.
rather difficult, because beginner questions can easily spiral into curiosity about quite theoretical stuff, with no clear point of separation. And I'm not sure we want to avoid having that kind of curiosity, but I suppose it might always intimidate some newbies: a predicament I'm not sure we can solve by a mere technical measure of splitting up lists.
when I was a newbie I was intimidated by the sheer volume of Haskell-Cafe, never mind whether I could understand it or not :-) but also the relatively few amount of beginner questions with beginner answers when looking in the list archives, probably made me less sure whether my questions would belong there.
